UNDER BOARD DIRECTION

The Board of Education tor the 1968-69 school year included (standing left to right): Dr. Clifford Erickson, John Wolf,
Board President Robert Sechler, and Board Attorney Peter Konstantacos. (Seated left to right) Franklin Forman, Hugh
Hammerslag, Blanche Alden, Almeria Roberts, and Vivian Hickey.

A consuming interest of the Board this year has been development and
construction of the new campus, with the first building scheduled for
opening in September 1969. Another major concern has been the choice
of a new president to succeed Dr. Erickson; Dr. Karl J. Jacobs, formerly
of Flint Community Junior College, Flint, Michigan, was their selection,
and joined RVC on January 20, 1969.

A NEW PRESIDENT TAKES OVER

Dr. Karl Jacobs became President of Rock Valley College in January, 1969.

Coach Ed Delaporte calls it a fine, fine
season. In addition to a 7-2 record in
NIJCC play, good for a second place
finish, the RVC team lost only four games
to non-conference competition and tied one
game. In a 15- inning meeting with Prairie
State, RVC lost 7-6 to settle for 2nd place
in the conference. Returning for the 1969
season will be outstanding batters Lindle
Dailey (.468), Steven Allen (.312), and
Ron Schrader (.290), along with fine field-
ers Jim Yeager, Michael Emerson, Rodney
Peterson, and David Casazza. Emerson
and Yeager also will be attempting to add
to their strong pitching record.

PLENTY OF ACTION

Although RVC got rough treat-
ment in its first year of football,
the quality of play showed that
the school could muster a spirited
and promising team.

Leaders in individual statistics
were Glaser, who rushed for 293
yards in 102 carries, and New-
man, 206 yards in 58 carries;
Descaro, who caught 18 passes
for 230 yards, and Blake with
a record of 22 catches for 225
yards; Decker, who intercepted
4 passes for 82 yards, and Fra-
ser, 4 passes for 8 yards.

With returning performers and
prospective freshmen and soph-
mores, the 1969 season holds a
lot of promise for Coach Harold
Swanson and his assistants, Pete
Lonsway and Norm Matyl.

HOOPERS TAKE CONFERENCE SECOND

RVC basketball team finished the regular season with

was good for second place. The small, fast breaking Tro-
jans were paced in the scoring department by captain
Jim Hogan 16.5, Larry Sidney 14.8, and Lindle Dailey
12.0. The top rebounder on the club was jumping-jack
Larry Sidney.

The RVC roundballers averaged 93.3 points per game
while holding their opponents to 80.1. The club set a
school record by winning ten straight games and broke
last year's total win record of nineteen by recording
twenty-one during the 1968-1969 season.

(Front h-R) Marsha Long, Vickie McMackin, Bonnie Erickson, Kristie, DeKizer, Debbie Cowling. (Second
LR) Miss Biddle, Advisor; Sue Schroeder, Judy Taylor, Sherry Diamond, Cindy Swanborg, Jacky Taylor.

Rock Valley College has a unique extramural
basketball team. The team consists of girls who
are interested in participating in competitive basket-
ball and volleyball.

The girls on the team play the various two and
four year colleges in Northern Illinois and Southern
Wisconsin. Competition is scheduled for both the
local campus and the neighboring campuses across
the states.

Any girl who is a student at Rock Valley College
and wishes to play competitive basketball and
volleyball is eligible for membership. The playing
is competitive and placement is judged by ability
in the skills required for the two games. Miss
Biddle and Miss McDermott are the advisors.

MURAL BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL

Good players never return the ball before three plays.

STUDENTS SELECT CHEERLEADERS

Early in the fall, mem-
bers of the Student Com-
mission and other student
leaders held tryouts for
cheerleading positions.
Interested girls performed
a variety of cheers before
an audience of students
gathered on the south
lawn of the campus. We
have shown here both the
tryouts and an early prac-
tice session. The Staff re-
grets that problems with
photography prevented
our obtaining formal
pictures.

HAPPY
ENDING

LECTURE-CONCERT SERIES

Seeking to appeal to both the college and city communities, the Lecture-Concert Series committee, under
the direction of Reuben Johnson, brought four outstanding programs to Rockford this year. Opening the
season was the Goldovsky Grand Opera Theater production of Bizet's Carmen, presented at the Coronado
Theater on October 28. Next, on November 23, The Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, renowned Episcopal Bishop,
author, and scholar, addressed an audience in the West High School auditorium, concentrating on his
sometimes-controversial views of the individual being in his world. Metropolitan Opera baritone Sherrill
Milnes presented a varied concert on January 15 at Guilford High School.

Bishop Pike answers a question
from his audience.

PRESENTS IDEAS AND ARTS

Not pictured is John Ciardi, well-known
poet, teacher, lecturer, and editor, who pre-
sented the final program of the series on
April 22, discussing the understanding of
Poetry.

The Fiery Carmen

R.V.C. THEATER
BOTH INDOOR AND

In 1968 Rock Valley's theater department, in conjunction with the department of music, presented
four entertainments: Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience, Samuel
Beckett's Waiting for Godot, and William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Under the
dramatic direction of Donald Colucci and the music direction of Reuben Johnson, the four offerings
allowed the college's student actors participation in distinctively different styles of theater. On May 10,
11, and 12, at Rockford Theater, the Brecht-Kurt Weill version of John Gay's 1728 Begger's Opera
offered political and social satire with plenty of musical highlights. From July 29 to August 3, the
first annual Summer Drama Festival featured alternating performances of Patience and Godot, at-
tracting large audiences to night theater on the campus lawns. Special light towers designed by

Technical credits go to director

ager, and Rich Gamble, lighting,

OUTDOOR PRODUCTIONS

director Colucci made possible die full utilization of facilities originally constructed for other college
functions. In Patience, playgoers were treated to a burlesque of the Oscar Wilde "protest movement"
against Victorian strictures, while in Beckett's play they were challenged to interpret the theme of a
story that has puzzled, infuriated, and enthralled drama critics and dramatists alike. In early October,
Colucci attempted to revive the notion of year-round outdoor theater with his production of Much
Ado About Nothing. Using the facilities of the Summer Festival, and adding a concession stand to
sell hot foods, he completed a successful year with Shakespeare's comedy based on the problems
induced by eavesdropping, that is "noting".

WAITING

FOR
GODOT

In his program notes for the second offering of
the Summer Drama Festival, Waiting for Godot,
director Donald Colucci poses the question that
the play itself never directly answers: Who is Godot,
or what is Godot? Suggested answers have been
that Godot is God, or man's hope, or the meaning
of life. Beckett himself, as Colucci notes, observed
that if he could identify Godot, he would have done
so in his play. Whatever the answer, the question
is the puzzle of the play, the waiting its substance.

MAY BALL ROYALTY

May 18, 1968, Rock Valley freshmen
sponsored a formal dance for the sopho-
more class at the Junior Ball Room of the
Faust Hotel. Known as the May Ball, this
traditionally formal dance ended with the
crowning of a king and queen from a court
of selected Rock Valley students. Queen
Lil Rinaldo and King Tom Luchetti, both
graduates of 1968, pose for a picture after
being crowned.

WRITER'S CONFERENCE FOCUSES

The second midwinter writer's conference
featured six editors from widely different
fields. Richard Apolloni of the college's
Division of Communications, shown here
greeting Esther Meeks, specialist in chil-
dren's books, and Edward Letwenko, humor
editor for a card manufacturer, arranged
the meetings on January 19, 20, and 21
in the Student Center. Other speakers were
Hoyt Fuller, who discussed ethnic publica-
tions, Roger Hedges, concentrating on news-
papers, Dave Etter, poet who spoke about
poetry, and novelist Jim Grant, whose wide
experience in the mass media formed the
basis of his presentation. Following each
talk, the audience posed questions, some
about technique, others about issues.

Leading the student body this year in a variety of activities has been the job of the Student Commission,
advised by Dr. Munson. With David McCurdy as president, assisted by Maxine Saudargas, vice-presi-
dent, Mary Jo Morgan, secretary, and Pat Quin, treasurer, the Commission opened the year with Orien-
tation Weekend, which featured the Orientation Dance on September 14 and the day-long Friendship Fair
on September 15. The next job was to supervise student elections for freshman representatives to the
Commission later in September. Then, on October 24, 25, and 26 they acted as co-hosts with Highland
for the Illinois Statewide Junior College Conference, topped off by another dance. Moving into December,
the Commission sponsored the Christmas Dance, while on February 15 they held the Valentine Dance.
In May, their activities were highlighted by the May Ball and the faculty-student canoe races on the RVC
pond. Mary Jo Morgan and Ron Casola gave special service as members of the committee to select a
new president for the college.

ALL THE NEWS . . .
COMES FROM THE VALLEY FORGE

Highlighting important issues of college life, the RVC campus newspaper has
kept its readers informed, amused, curious, in anticipation, and sometimes anx-
ious. Led by editor Sue Robinson, news editor Maxine Saudargas, sports editor
Jack Schaeffer, and feature editor Mike Burns, the staff has produced quality
bi-weekly issues. A special feature of the year's publications was a pictorial
insert covering Homecoming, done by staff photographer Peter Herdklotz. Com-
pleting the top staff are Bob Carr, copy; Jacki Styles, layout; Judy Stevens,
advertising; Jean Raimer, circulation; and Mary Jo Morgan, business manager.
Faculty adviser is Ed Stoyanoff.

LEARNING, FUN, AND SERVICE

Music activities have always been important at Rock Valley College. Headed by Reuben Johnson,
the music faculty, consisting of Dr. Ray Tadlock, John Rudzinski, and Randall Snyder, present a
wide variety of college music courses and participation opportunities. For those who qualify, the
College Choir provides concert experience and introduction to both classical and popular material.
The Madrigalists are a special group chosen from the Choir who entertain Rockford civic organiza-
tions and present their own college-sponsored concerts, in addition to performing throughout the
Northern Illinois area for interested groups. For the instrumentalist, experienced or novice, the Band
provides a chance to work with the enthusiastic Mr. Snyder in polishing playing techniques and learn-
ing standard band numbers. These groups meet in the Cottage and at The Spring Creek Church.

PHI RHO PI

Outstanding achievements of Rock
Valley's Phil Rho Pi members this past
year included the highest rating ever
scored by Rock Valley at the annual Illinois
State tournament, and sponsorship of the
second annual area high school debate
tournament. Members also participated in
meets at Bradley University and Illinois
State University, as well as at Northern
Illinois and Wisconsin State Universities
in Oshkosh, Eau Claire, Whitewater, and
Madison.

Those who were active in debate this
year benefited from their co-operative learn-
ing experiences and sharing of ideas.

Until his death early in the year, Richard Hines was editor of the sports
section. The plans he had drawn were developed by the staff as a whole
so that the yearbook would contain as complete a review of the year as
Dick had projected. We hope our inclusion of sports not previously
covered by Rock Valley yearbooks pleases the coaches and athletes who
participated in them. We know it would please Dick. He enjoyed ath-
letics and entered into them with as much vigor as he put into his other
activities. Needless to say so-the sports section is dedicated to his
memory.
